Inventory Controller with Profile Service

Overview

I developed a simple Inventory Controller so that it can easily read data returned from Profile Service and implemented into a UI structure through OOP and built-in sorting. The primary concepts to look at in this repo is how the client reads the Profile data, the usage of OOP, and the built-in sorting system. So if you're interested with that, please take a look at the basic usage implementation shown below! (Can send RBXL file upon request)

Note: Since the code shown in this repo was coded with MY UI structure in mind, so it is not expected to work for others. The point of this repo is rather to show how the backend systems function for those who are interested!

Basic Usage

The Controller's functionality is actually pretty straight forward; all it does is once the client loads in, the client-side Knit will call a :LoadCharacter function to return their Profile Service data. It then reads the Profile Service data, and creates empty inventory slot objects (Based on the players InventorySpace data) in the UI structure I built.

local data = Knit.GetService("PlayerService"):LoadCharacter() -->>: The variable data holds the player profile service data which is used later on

for i = 1, data.InventorySpace, 1 do -->>: Creates empty inventory slot objects into UI structure
  local EmptyFrame = InventoryController.newEmpty("ScrollingFrame")
  EmptyFrame:setEmpty()
end

After the empty slots are created, the Controller will fill the slots in based on data found in the specified index

for i,v in pairs (data.Inventory) do -->>: Fills in empty inventory slot objects if data exists within slot
  local ItemFrame = InventoryController.newItem(v.Name, v.Rarity, v.Upgrades, v.Bonus, v.Equipped, nil, "ScrollingFrame")
  ItemFrame:setItem()
end

Afterwards that's pretty much it! The controller will do all the backend work and format it accordingly to my UI structure. (If you're interested on the backend OOP coding and the built-in sorting please take a look at the repo!)
